Steeped in history this grand Victorian residence once merely a modest stone cottage in 1869, displays the distinctive characteristics and noteworthy features of renowned gold rush architects Robert Getzschmann and Wilhelm.C.Vahland. ‘Bessbrook Villa’ as the property is known today with its imposing lacework facade and cantilever balcony has stood the test of time, thoughtfully restored and now tastefully blending old world elegance with modern luxuries.
Set on a generous 1120sqm private allotment on the city fringe, the upstairs level of the dwelling comprises formal lounge with marble fire place and deep Victorian cornices, formal dining room, rustic brick and timber kitchen with gas and electric appliances, renovated bathroom, leadlight sunroom/office and 1 of 3 spacious bedrooms with access to the side balcony. An ornate feature archway leads down the solid timber staircase to the 2nd & 3rd bedroom, second bathroom with corner spa and a stone & brick cellar.
Additional features of this captivating residence include: Glowing Baltic timber floors, decorative ceiling roses and various forms of heating throughout. Outside a relatively blank canvas allows the astute buyer to further add value to the property and includes original stables which would be ideal to covert into a guest house or studio and an in-ground pool at the rear of the allotment.
